Pads, rotors, and lines...

Speed is important to alot of people but I for one belive in stopping power. my 60-0 is more important than 0-60 (I like to see my passaangers eyes go when I stop, so with that said I would like to know who, what, where and how you would rate them. I'm going to start my quest, yes I used the word quest in looking for the best slotted rotor, best pads and S.S. lines that I can find and get the best bang for my buck. I like to drive have and am considering autocrossing in the near future, so keep that in mind, and as of now I really dont want to do a big brake kit. On the other side of this disscussion anyone know a place to get some cheap dinan parts looking to buy alot of dinan crap'o'la.

Thanks in advance

Hehe. Read my sig. I know what you mean.

Check out racingbrake.com for rotors and combine with your favorite pad.

Don't forget a caliper bushing kit.

Makes a big difference in pedal feel.
